Correction: Antibiotic resistance rates and physician antibiotic prescription patterns of uncomplicated urinary tract infections in southern Chinese primary care Carmen Ka Man Wong, Kenny Kung, Philip Lung Wai Au-Doung, Margaret Ip, Nelson Lee, Alice Fung, Samuel Yeung Shan Wong
The antibiotic name amoxicillin appears incorrectly throughout the article. The correct antibiotic name is amoxicillin-clavulanate. The antibiotic name amoxicillin appears incorrectly in Tables 3 and 5. Please see the correct Tables 3 and 5 below. The antibiotic name amoxicillin appears incorrectly in Fig 2. The authors have provided the corrected version here.
